Copa Sudamericana 2008: Estudiantes through to the final

1

The second leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-final between Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata was as all reasonable people expected it to be. That is, after Argentinos' first team thrashed Estudiantes' reserves 5-0 in the league on Sunday, it was evident to all that Estudiantes would advance from the semi. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana semi-final first leg: Argentinos 1 - 1 Estudiantes

14

Estudiantes de La Plata were for the most part the better side away to Argentinos Juniors in the first leg of the all-Argentine Copa Sudamericana semi-final on Thursday night. At half time they led 1-0 thanks to an unlucky own goal from Argentinos 'keeper Sebastián Torrico, but in the second half Juan Ignacio Mercier got an equaliser for the hosts to [.

Not so scary anymore?

0

There was a popular belief surrounding South American football until last year. It said that Brazilian club sides taking part in the Copas weren't afraid of anyone at all, until they came up against Boca Juniors. When they met the boys from the Riachuelo, though, they'd lie down for fear of angering their foes and [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Argentinos and Estudiantes through

1

Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata both completed aggregate victories over Brazilian opponents on Wednesday night to win though to the semi-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana. They'll play each other in one semi-final. The other might be a double-headed superclásico, depending on Thursday's results, but more likely it'll be an all-Brazilian semi.

Inter 2 - 0 Boca & Palmeiras 0 - 1 Argentinos: the goals

1

Following River's loss at home to Chivas in the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday night, Boca and Argentinos played just a little too late for coverage to appear right away on HEGS. Mixed fortunes for Argentina's representatives against Brazilian opposition: Boca were well beaten by 2005 Copa Libertadores winners Internacional in Porto Alegre, Alex striking twice, [.

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Estudiantes 2 - 0 Botafogo

1

The quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana began on Tuesday night as Estudiantes hosted Brazilian side Botafogo, and after going in at half-time a man down after Agustín Alayes was sent off, it was the hosts who'll take an advantage to Rio on the 5th November. Second-half goals from Mauro Boselli and Seba Verón (another spectacular effort from [. Click to continue reading...

Basile out: why, how, and who next?

0

As Alfio Basile was resigning as Argentina manager last night, I was preparing to email an article to Soccernet about the pressure he was under. A complete re-write ensued (at one o'clock in the bloody morning with work the following day - thanks, Coco!), and you can read the result now, taking in Basile's resignation [.

Chile vs. Argentina - the possibilities

6

As ever, Coco Basile won't be revealing his starting XI until very shortly before kick off in Santiago, but with Juan Román Riquelme having rejoined the Boca Juniors squad to prepare for Sunday's superclásico following his suspension and with Carlos Tevez also ruled out, it's thought after the team's final training session at Ezeiza on [. Click to continue reading...

Sand gets the call

1

With Messers Tevez and Riquelme suspended, and Sergio Agüero injured, Barcelona's Lionel Messi will be the only one of Argentina's 'fantastic four' (the phrase is Olé's and not, I would like to impress upon you, my own) who will feature against Chile in Santiago on Wednesday night. Agüero, who only picked up a minor knock [. Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2010 qualifiers: Argentina 2 - 1 Uruguay: the goals

3

In my absence, Argentina finally returned to winning ways after six matches of forgetting what it felt like. In the Monumental, in the clásico against their ancient cross-river rivals Uruguay, Alfio Basile's side finally looked like a team again. It took seven minutes of the first half - between the fifth, when Lionel Messi opened [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: River through

River Plate have joined the two Juniors, Boca and Argentinos, in the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana with a 2-1 win over Uruguayans Defensor Sporting in the Monumental on Thursday night to complete a 4-2 aggregate victory. Full back Paulo Ferrari, playing wide on the right of midfield, opened the scoring in the 7th [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: Wednesday night’s goals

0

Boca and Argentinos both qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday night. Boca drew 1-1 away in Quito to claim a 5-1 aggregate win over LDU, and a little later Argentinos turned over San Luís in La Paternal to go through 3-2 on aggregate thanks to a double from Gabriel Hauche.

Copa Sudamericana: Defensor Sporting 1 - 2 River Plate

4

You could tell it wasn't the league campaign, because River Plate, having crossed the estuary the club took its name from to Montevideo, actually won a match, and it was thanks to two goals from a rather unexpected source. Sebastián Abreu's transfer back to River from Israel only went through on Wednesday, clearing him to [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: Estudiantes vs. Arsenal goals

0

Tuesday night's other match saw Estudiantes beat Arsenal de Sarandí 2-1 at home, thanks to a double strike from Mauro Boselli, who continues to impress at his new club. With twenty-five minutes remaining, Cristian Pellerano pulled one back and claimed an away goal for Arsenal with a long range drive. Click to continue reading...

Future Now

It was League Cup day in England and Scotland, but halfway across the world, Boca Juniors also fielded a side largely made up of youngsters in a second-rate knockout competition. In this case it was the Copa Sudamericana, and the opposition were the champions of South America - recent Copa Libertadores winners Liga de Quito. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: quarter-final first leg fixtures

It's time for the most ridiculous international club football competition in the world - the Copa Sudamericana - to enter its quarter-final stage. The uniquely television-obsessed way the tournament is organised means that invitees Boca Juniors and River Plate will play their first matches tonight, one round later than Arsenal de Sarandí, who are the defending [.

CONMEBOL WCQ: Brazilian Heat

Almost half-way through the South American World Cup qualifiers and one of the top 5 issues of this qualifying cycle is the play of Brazil. Anyone who knows anything about South American football knows that Brazil is going to finish in the Top 4 automatically putting them in The Great Tournament, so why all the heat towards [.

Tough at the top for Basile and Dunga

0

Starting this month, I'm writing for ESPN's Soccernet on football across South America. These articles won't always include Argentine football, of course, but when they do I'll let you know here. This week the subject under the microscope is why the pressure of managing one of the world's top international sides is being cranked up [. Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2010: Peru 1 - 1 Argentina

13

Esteban Cambiasso had the goal and, without actually impressing anyone, Argentina were putting to bed the run of six matches without a win that's seen them slip from first to fourth in the South American qualification table for South Africa 2010. A poor performance but the result was still as expected. Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2010: Argentina 1 - 1 Paraguay

3

It was second versus first in the Estadio Monumental on Saturday afternoon, as Argentina hosted leaders Paraguay in the South American qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup. The selección didn't look particularly hot in front of their own fans, falling a goal down early on after dominating the opening exchanges before going a man down [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana: the champions march on

1

A simple assignment for Arsenal de Sarandí on Thursday night in their defence of the Copa Sudamericana, and the test was passed at a canter. Having beaten Deportivo Motagua 4-0 in Sarandí in the first leg a couple of weeks ago, Daniel Garnero's defending champions got through the second with a 2-1 win over the Hondurans in Tegucigalpa.

The Argentina squad for the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers against Paraguay in Buenos Aires, and Peru in Lima, has been almost finalised prior to the weekend's domestic action in Argentina, after which three Boca Juniors players will be added to the list.

Boca take the Recopa

Martín Palermo's out for a while, but Boca Juniors provided themselves with a morale boost in the wake of a traumatic few days following their hero's injury. After Palermo's record-equalling goal set them on their way to a first-leg victory in Sarandí, it was back to La Bombonera for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana, [.

Copa Sudamericana: Estudiantes through on penalties

0

Estudiantes hosted Independiente in the second leg of their Copa Sudamericana first round tie on Wednesday night and overturned a 2-1 loss from the first match to win through 5-4 on penalties after a 2-1 victory on the night gave them a 3-3 aggregate draw. Independiente played poorly in the first half, experimenting with defender Carlos [. Click to continue reading...

Group Harmony: Japan’s Fan Culture

1

From the multitude of unofficial fan clubs that crowd the terraces to the carefully choreographed chants that ring out for ninety minutes, J. League fans have arguably borrowed as heavily from their native baseball league as they have from European and South American football culture. Michael Tuckerman explains.

Palermo arrives at a record

3

In a glorified all-Argentine continental pre-season friendly, Boca Juniors hosted Arsenal de Sarandí in Racing's ground on Wednesday night, in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana, played between the winners of the previous year's (not season, confusingly) Copas Sudamericana and Libertadores. Boca ran out 3-1 winners after an early flurry saw them leading 2-1 after [. Click to continue reading...

Given the dominance of the Old Firm, the SPL is often pegged as a weak league. Having said that, small clubs who come into the Scottish top flight often struggle against all-comers and the Accies are in for a tough season after their promotion for the first time in twenty years.

Argentinos Juniors 0 - 0 San Lorenzo

2

The first round of the Copa Sudamericana continued on Wednesday evening, with Argentinos and San Lorenzo playing out a thoroughly dull 0-0 draw in La Paternal in which practically nothing happened and both sides appeared to have decided that, if there really had to be any goals in the tie, they could at least wait [.

¡Que Lío!

1

In the buildup to Wednesday night's South American clásico between Brazil and Argentina in Belo Horizonte for the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers, the Argentina camp has been rocked by suggestions of a division in the squad. Not entirely surprisingly, Boca Juniors' Juan Román Riquelme is at the heart of it, but the identity of the [. Click to continue reading...

Argentina 1 - 1 Ecuador

12

Following the experimentation of the North American friendlies last week, it was back to serious business for the selección on Sunday night, with a World Cup qualifier against Ecuador which was expected to be a mere warm up for the midweek clash away to Brazil.
